[QUOTE="shawnfish, post: 293280, member: 4468"] dont have any experience with new motors but if the 25-40hp rudes are half as reliable as the pre 1990's johnny/rudes i would go evinrude. but im a DIE HARD OMC guy, id put a pre 90 OMC 25-40hp against any brand new tohatsu,merc,honda,yamaha etc.... in terms of reliability and toughness any day of the week. now they may not be as fuel efficient and quiet as the new motors on the market but mpg and noise dont bother me. now that being said my buddy has a 09 BF40 and when ive been in the boat its ran like a top. id buy a 20-25yr old OMC and spend the other 3 or so grand on a new TM,electronics,gear etc...if it were me.
